AGP #398 ''The Ex~Champ" - Dust My Broom

A “Hats On Backwards Performance” by the local “Neighbourhood Nuisance”.
Making some noise with some Elmore James “Dust My Broom” Riffs, not how Elmore or any one else plays it, but how the “Ham Fisted Bricklayer” attacks it using my latest build. :-D

"Thanks Bob", good description, most CBG's lend themselves to the Growly, Gritty side of life :-)

That was a mighty growly and gritty performance AGP!  You "swept" us away with that heavy blues sound.

"Thanks UJ", and NO!, I didn't know "Dust My Broom" had a sexual meaning, had to call on "Mr Google" to find out more!, an excerpt from "The Library Of Congress" states :---

 What exactly does “dust my broom” mean? In the 1800s, the expression “get up and
dust” meant to leave in a hurry. In the Depression-era South, where the song likely
originated, “dust my broom” meant to get out of town in a hurry. Big Joe Williams, who
grew up in the Mississippi Delta, explained it as “leaving for good,” as in “I’m putting
you down. I won’t be back no more.” 

Which in its later incarnations concerns a man’s dissatisfaction with his woman. Perfect fodder for the blues.  :-)
